(53,2 billion €)
FP7 is a key tool to respond to Europe's needs in terms ofjobs and competitiveness, and to maintain leadership in the global
•The broadest civil research programme in the world
•European Union’s chief instrument for the public funding of research
•Aim is to facilitate the creation of European Research Area
•International cooperation projects (within/outside EU)
•Beyond state-of-the-art projects funded
jobs and competitiveness, and to maintain leadership in the globalknowledge economy

development (e.g. international cooperation)
List of
Cooperation• European Excellence
• Supports all types of research activities carried out
by different research bodies in trans-national
cooperation and aims to gain or consolidate
leadership in key scientific and technology areas.
• The Cooperation programme is sub-divided into ten • The Cooperation programme is sub-divided into ten
distinct themes:
– most important fields of knowledge and technology
where research excellence is particularly important to
improve Europe’s ability to address its social, economic,
public health, environmental and industrial challenges of
the future
Cooperation Specific Programme
Environment Theme - ObjectivesObjective:
To promote sustainable management of the environment and its
resources through:
�advancing our knowledge on the interactions between the
biosphere, ecosystems and human activities and
�developing new technologies, tools and services, in order to
address in an integrated way global environmental issues.address in an integrated way global environmental issues.
Specific emphasis on:
�Prediction of climate, ecological, earth and ocean systems
changes;
�Tools and technologies, for monitoring, prevention and
mitigation of environmental pressures and risks including on
health and for the sustainability of the natural and man-made
environment.

Environment Theme - Activities
Major policy drivers in water reseach in FP7
• The Lisbon strategy which highlights the role of
environment in economic growth
– Emphasis on the Environmental Technology Action Plan (ETAP), an
ambitious plan to promote eco-innovation and the take-up of
environmental technologies, promoting research and development,
mobilising funds, helping to drive demand and improving market
conditions
• EU water policies and directives• EU water policies and directives
– Water Framework Directive, Urban Waste Water Treatment
Directive, Drinking Water Directive, Sewage Sludge Directive,
Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Directive, etc.
• EU Water Initiative – The international dimension
– Promoting low-cost and sustainable technologies in developing
countries and help meeting the Millennium Development Goals for
water supply and sanitation
European Technology Platforms• Foster the synergy between industry, public sector and all
the other relevant stakeholders
• Create a powerful mobilising force to build consensus for
R&D priority setting in emerging technological areas
• Contribute to increasing investment in research in Europe.
• Arm European companies with knowledge and help them to
compete in an increasingly global and increasingly compete in an increasingly global and increasingly
technology-intensive environment.
• High level public/private partnerships to define and
implement in common a strategic research agenda
• Orient FP7 to better meet the needs of industry
Water Supply and Sanitation Technology Platform
Overarching R&D priorities Strategic Research Agenda:
• Integrated solutions
• Monitoring, sensor and communication technology
• Advanced treatment technology
• Technologies to produce energy and products from
wastewater
• Water saving technology and pollution control at source
• Asset management
www.wsstp.org
• Asset management
• Risk assessment & management tools
• Generating an enabling framework
Implementation:
• Through a number of pilot actions with a strong public-
private partnership
• Supported by various thematic priorities in FP7
